Hi, please i really need your thoughts on this.

Am in the UK and i invited my mother inlaw over. She was granted her 1st visit visa in October 2019 but because of lock down, she finally left the uk in August 2020. No my wife is pregnant and delivery date is fast approaching, i applied for mother in-law to come over for child birth but this time i applied for the 2 years visitor visa. Timeline is below,

Application submitted Online = 19th July 2021
Biometrics submitted = 23rd July 2021
App received Acknowledgement from UKVI = 30th July

Since then no further communication until i had to contact ukvi on the 12th of August and was told decision has been made and we will receive communication from VAC. The next day, i received 2 emails with words below

Dear Customer,

TLScontact was notified by UKVI that a decision related to your visa application has been made and communicated directly to you by email.

As soon as your passport is ready to be returned, you will receive another email about the collection or the delivery procedure.

You can track the progress of your visa application by connecting to your account or by using our Track My Application app.


Second letter
Dear Customer,

This is a short notice to kindly ask you to bear with us a little more as your application is still being processed and please be assured that you will be notified as soon as your passport is ready to be returned to you.

Thank you for your patience.

Tracking app says application is ready for collection but no one has called or email us for collection.

My question is;

1. On her first application in 2019, i was called by ukvi to verify her some information including my job. But on this application, no one has contacted me. Is this any sign?

2. Secondly, i haven't received any email from ukvi about application processed or concluded. Is this usual?

Please i need your input as we are so worried right now. Thanks in advance.

[b][/b]Hello Everyone...pls I need advice from experienced guys in the house. I want my younger brother to travel to the UK but the challenge is that I do not know his chances cos he doesn't have any travel history and he is single.. I am thinking of him applying with my wife and kids cos they have good travel history with visits to the US and UK several times and we all share same surname. My questions;

1) What documents does he need to provide cos right now he works with my wife who runs a registered business.

2) I want to stand as co-sponsor for their trip.I work and earn good salary and also a signatory to my wife's biz account. Does my brother require his personal accounts to be rich enough to be considered?

3) Are we expected to scan and upload all our documents online or have the option to submit original copy at VFS ?

Happy to get a feedback.

Thank you.

Ur vaccinations are only equivalent to that of UK if done in UK, EU or the US. Sadly if u want to travel u will need to quarantine for 10 days.
You need to sort out your financials and know how much u intend to spend on this trip.
Even though u are sole partner of the organization, u also cnt use it as though it is for ur personal use..the amount for the trip needs to be in your personal acct and not your business account as funds for ur business should be reserved for your business
U dnt have to mention the Canadian pr story, there is no correlation to the uk visit visa at this point.
Please read as much as u can of this thread, different examples of how to sell a convincing picture about ur ties to Nigeria.
If your kids are not travelling, it will also help. Sell this picture very well, that you both can not abandon your kids to go and live illegally in the UK. However this is not all. Explore every.

Ezepikin:
Thanks for your feedback. I actually want to build his passport. So will it be better if i apply for him alone and stand as sponsor?
Secondly, can you address my 3rd question about scanning documents or submitting it physically. Thanks so much.

Depends on why you want him to travel also, every application is treated on its own merit regardless of number of people in the group so travelling with them would not influence the outcome of his application.
“Good salary” is relative and when you convert it to pounds it doesn’t look as good.I personally would not advice you sponsor so many people at the same time especially as your brother is an adult.

Monmarri:
Well done Justwise. We are proud of u.keep it up. Other gurus too we are proud of u all. Keep it up and may God continue to bless u all. All members in the house well-done for all your contributions. God bless us all. Wonderful and great forum!

shawlar:


Like giselle237 said above, get the company registered, open an account for it and let all revenue of the business be paid into that account. Also let all your receipts,invoices, contracts etc bear the name of your company. That's the only way you can use it as an income source. You CD an also consider paying yourself a fixed monthly income from that company account into your personal account as salary.


NB; I'm interested in venturing into this kind of business also. Can I PM you for more info/tips?

Thoscine:
Good day everyone please I will like to join any telegram or watsap UK tier 2 visa group. Thanks

mrczar:
Guys,

Plz I got refused last wk.

Although the application was done by an agent.

I regret using an agent, ordinarily I would have done my research and applied myself.

The question is:

How soon can I reapply?

If reapplying do I need to explain reasons that lead to the initial refusal?

Is it advisable to use just my salary account instead of including another account.

Plz I will appreciate a thorough guide on how best I can reapply and as well avoid future refusal.

I’m also thinking of how to address travel history, which affordable country can I travel to so as to build my travel history.

giselle237:
what question do you have

Glow2Dstars:
Good day, everyone.
My mom applied and paid for a 2 year visit visa but when she picked up her passport, it was stamped for 6months.
How do we handle this, please?

Thoscine:

We are new on this journey, I would like to know the next step after getting CoS, we have English as a medium already. Thanks

giselle237:
after getting COS is to make an application for a visa depending on the category eg skilled worker visa.
Then you need tb report from IOM in Lagos or Abuja, and also might need police report if your job involves dealings with vulnerable people.
Go on and apply.

Nchabuomo:


Call UKVI

giselle237:
send them an email on the complaints email address. And tell them you would like it to be addressed. You can also call them from the UK
